How to stop your dog from biting?Your puppy loves bitting as 11 weeks old is the teething period. As bitting will reduce the pain during teething. Naturally,
dog learn to inhibit their bite when they are four months old from his siblings, parents and friends. As he is staying with us instead of his family members so we take up the responsibility to train him.
How to
train your puppy to stop from bitting? Get him on training.
First, whenever you puppy bite you, you need to inform him let him know you are suffering. When he bites you, try to yield or making noise showing you are in pain. He will get shock and stop bitting immediately by looking at you innocently. Leave him alone for few seconds. The worse thing for puppies will be staying alone without companion. So they will realize, you don’t like them to do that. Remember to keep this action consistent and persistent when
training your puppies.
What can you do if you are not around?
Crate training is the best! As you have no time to supervise them so crate them. But do remember to leave toys or treats for them when crating them as they might need toys or treats to ease the pain during teething. When they are chewing on the toys or treats, it will help to massage the gums of puppies. It will help to break the skin on the gums where new tooth come from and cut down the discomfort. Besides, chewing the toys or treats will help to ease the boredom when staying inside the crate. (Puppies are easily got bored with the toys so provide a wide variety of toys from time to time)
Tips do not leave shoes or socks for your puppies to chew as this might develop misunderstanding for your puppies when they saw shoes or socks they will just bite it. If you are having a bitting maniac dog they might want to try with this method. Putting a nylon bone in the freezer and whenever he start bitting, give him the bone as the cold bone would numb his teeth a little and of course the chewing eases the pain too.
Love and Understand your dog!
